The dissociation of lime stone in the slag zone of the blast furnace is
Options
- Aexothermic accompanied by increase in cntropy
- Bendothermic accompanied by decrease in entropy
- Cendothermic accompanied by increase in entropy
- Dexothermic with no change in entropy
Correct answer
C. endothermic accompanied by increase in entropy
Step-by-step solution
Dissociation of lime stone is an endothermic reaction. Hence, entropy increases in this reaction.
